Thanks to those who responded. I assumed that speakup_synth=none would work. However, this doesn't appear to be the case. I am building a utility type machine which will sit in the corner. It will handle mail, dns, serving of mp3 files, usenet news and stuff like that. I don't have a voice synthesizer I would want to dedicate to it. Rather, I wish to install via the serial console. The command line I am using is: linux text console=ttyS0,9600 speakup_synth=none This does, in fact, work properly until it displays speakup (version): initialized console: vga 25x80 At this point, all serial console output stops. Not sure if the machine is actually hung up or not. Sending a break does nothing, repeated key combinations on the keyboard seem to do nothing as well. Any ideas? I'm sure I am over looking something simple. THANKS! Terry
